so, i’ve had 2g for a LONG time (well over a year, probably over 2) and i know the gap between 2g and 0g is really big. i’ve tried massages, heat, numbing stuff, and literally everything else that’s on the 20+ websites i’ve looked on. i just tried again today, and it’s been a week or so since the last time i tried. my left ear is kind of swollen, and my right ear is bleeding, which i know is bad. i’ve always had a little bit of blood when stretching, but it usually came a couple days later due to stupidity (i ran into a wall during an argument and smushed my ear.) i honestly don’t know what else to try! are there any suggestions, and is the mythical “1g taper” actually out there?

Yes! There is a 1g taper. You can find it here : http://www.urbanbodyjewelry.com/1-gauge ... h-kit.htmlYou can STRETCH with acrylic. Do. Not. Wear. It. As. Jewelry!Just get into a hot shower, it'll loosen your lobes up. Make sure to wear your jewelry in the shower.After you get out, dry off, get dressed, and grab the taper. Stretch and put the jewelry in. There you go!

My name is Jaedyn!I know a lot about stretching and will be glad to answer any questions asked!
